Optimizing Performance and Reliability: Key Factors for Cleaning in Immersion-Cooling Applications

Adam Klett 

Wednesday, April 10 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM

Thorough cleaning is crucial for optimal system performance, especially for printed circuit card assemblies where residual contaminants can compromise reliability. With advancements in board designs leading to increased heat generation, immersion coolants are being explored as efficient heat dissipators, raising questions about the necessity of traditional cleaning processes. Testing immersion-cooled systems' long-term reliability involves analyzing cleanliness levels, exposure to moisture, coolant properties, and flux types to determine the relevance of conventional cleaning methods.

Poster Session: Connect, Clean and Coat PCBA - How These Can Impact
Reliability and Performance

Debbie Carboni

Tuesday, April 9 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM

The escalating demand for reliable EV and charging station assemblies has spurred challenges in adapting to rapid technological shifts. Manufacturers are responding by creating weather-resistant, corrosion-resistant charging stations with advanced features to enhance safety and reliability. While cutting upfront costs may be tempting, investing in connecting, cleaning, and coating processes prevents downtime from corrosion and environmental damage. Thoughtful upfront designs mitigate the risks of costly warranty repairs and customer dissatisfaction. A collaborative effort in the form of a poster showcases a data-driven comparison of assembly options, emphasizing the importance of strategic upfront processes validated through SIR testing.

Strategies for Enhanced Reliability in the Cleaning of Vented Components

Wednesday, April 10 8:00 AM - 10:00 AM

Thorough cleaning processes play a crucial role in maintaining optimal system performance, preventing residual contaminants from compromising the reliability and operational life of printed circuit card assemblies. Contaminants soluble in water, with ionic properties, can lead to issues like dendritic growth and corrosion when exposed to moisture, ultimately causing system failure. With advancements in board designs leading to increased heat generation, immersion coolants have emerged as efficient agents for heat dissipation. However, the question arises about the necessity of traditional cleaning processes for systems employing immersion-cooling methods. Test vehicles immersed in commercially available coolants underwent surface insulation resistance testing to assess long-term reliability. Factors such as cleanliness, moisture exposure pre-immersion, coolant characteristics, and flux type were systematically analyzed to provide insights into whether traditional cleaning processes remain essential for immersion-cooled assemblies.
